This week we have dug out an 1881 book called "Ha! Ha!! Ha!!!' It is composed of humorous pieces clipped from various newspapers. The authors are listed as Scissors and Paste.

The authors of the pieces are not credited but some of the newspapers are. From this we can determine some of the authors. Today's piece, 'Exchanging Dusters,' is probably by Robert J. Burdette, and is extremely funny.
